Jesus is 'Effin Metal
I'm in the process of compiling some metal songs for a single CD that I intend to take to work and drive my fellow workers nuts. You see, three or four of the other folks that are in wicked early generally monopolize the radio with songs that were popular when they were young, and I promise you, that was a long time ago. It's a lot of the stuff Oldies stations used to play when they really were "Oldies" and not "Classics" like they are now, but I digress.
My little project has gotten complicated, because I couldn't decide what to put on, and so I mentioned it to some of my similar aged coworkers while I was threatening the others with it. It quickly escalated into a CD of "The Greatest Metal Songs of All Time", and there are rules now too. No more then one song from any one band, and equal representation from each decade involved, whenever realistically possible. I need suggestions...
Before I present what will already be on it, and what I already have under consideration, please understand that this is a relatively loose interpretation of "metal". I'll call this my "Bob disclaimer", because I can hear him whining already, and he's 300 miles away. Also remember it is only one CD.
Already on the CD
Pantera - "Cowboys from Hell"
Megadeath - "Symphony of Destruction"
Slipknot - "Wait and Bleed"
Rage Against the Machine - "Bulls on Parade"
Up for Consideration/Under Review
Black Sabbath - "Children of the Grave"
Disturbed - "Down with the Sickness"
Iron Maiden - "Hallowed be thy Name"
Manowar - "Black Wind, Fire and Steel"
Metallica - "Master of Puppets"
Motorhead - "Ace of Spades"
Sepultura - "Arise"
Slayer - "Reign in Blood" or "Seasons in the Abyss"
System of a Down - "Toxicity"
There they are, I am open to any and all suggestions...except the stupid ones.
